Basically everytime I do "startx" it boots up KDE entirely fine, no problems. That WOULD be the end of it, BUT I realized that 149 usage in PERCENTAGE Is not okay for the cpu. Then I realized.. The GPU was at 0.00W. WHAT?? I thought I was using the GPU that entire time! I tried fixing it...

Hi, I'm a new FreeBSD user, coming over from years of Windows and minimal user friendly Linux distro use. I realize that I am severally out of my depth here, and I'm having to ask ai for like 90% of things if I want to do anything lol which isn't good because sometimes it's just wrong. I asked...

Every time I try to install it this text pops up. I’ve tried googling it but found nothing. Even over multiple different install files like the dvd or memstick. It starts to happen after a few minutes mostly when I’m at the internet part

i have been using dwm for a while now and it has become infuriating that i have to recompile and relogin everytime i make even the smallest of change, i mean other WM's like i3, qtile even xmonad allow you to refresh the config with a simple binding, so i thought that "ok, if it isnt given by...

I am currently on linux, which has officially opened the floodgates for vibe-coding, that is, coding with AI and using AI for bug fixes, and sure they have to specify it, but like with the crowd that forked GZDoom to UZDoom; once it's in the code, it will be forgotten and ignored! So I am...

I've got 5 static IP's from my ISP, but they are tied to mac addresses in order to obtain them. I'm trying to avoid VM's where I can, in favour of jails, but can't seem to get my assigned IP's when using a jail. I'm currently setting my hw addr in a jail by adding the line exec.created +=...

Hello FreeBSD Forum, This is my second attempt at installing FreeBSD, and I'm experiencing very slow download speeds for packages. Both attempts were conducted within a virtual machine (VM). Interestingly, when I tried GhostBSD (also in a VM), the download speeds were significantly better...

Hello, i am using a Thinkpad T480 with i3/xorg. Recently my touchpad started lagging and my trackpad buttons just stopped working sometimes. It might work sometimes and then i get responses when using "xinput test 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint'", but then it just stops working. I have tried different...

Hi forum! I hope i set this thread in the correct category. I'm using code::blocks as my IDE in FreeBSD 14.2 STABLE, and when i run code in it, let's say this one: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Enter a number: "; int x{}; cin >> x; cout << "Your...

Hello, Beforehand, sorry if the formatting of this post is not fully correct as I want to get it posted and then edit later so that the format is better. I have managed to get myself into a situation where it looks like my hard drive superblock has become corrupted somehow and now some of my...

Hello, I didn't know where to put this so i'm asking here. I don't like asking n00b questions and always told to look at the man page or the manual so i'm here asking what is the best way to read it and understand it.. For freebsd im looking at https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi Can...

I understand that this might not be viewed very favorably, but I couldn't really find much about this. I read a few threads on this Forum about USB/IP but there doesn't seem to be much support for the protocol on BSD? I'm trying to create a VM to which most of my USB ports will be passed...

I have been setting up freebsd the past few days and can't find a fix for my keyboard issue. My laptop keyboad and trackpad work when typing in the hard drive password and the boot menu. Once in the terminal both stop working, but a usb keyboard does work. dmesg recognizes them. Was wondering if...

Hey! I'm new to freeBSD and, after a little fight with xorg and the nvidia drivers I finally got to launch xorg and configure all of my monitors. Except for one. The laptop's internal monitor, and it's not even listed with % xrandr : Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 32767...
